I keep forgetting that I wanted to tell you how GREAT these lines are that you wrote:
It's about the sheer fantasy that is Hollywood, which makes all the world a stage and then jumbles the props. It's an art film about the need for hackneyed stories with pratfalls and happy endings. It's an ironic postmodern tribute to the redeeming power of a child's love. It's a celebration of the techniques of early film: crazy stunts and in-camera special effects, the simple magic of optical illusions and perspective shifts. It's a children's adventure movie about despair, drug addiction, and suicide.
I wish I could see the movie again, but it left Tucson after two weeks.
